Intro:
[Ebmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Esus4]
Verse 1:
[Eb]Sometimes you feel so far away,
distanced from all the action of the pla[D]y,
[Eb]unable to grasp significance,
marking the plot with diffident dism[D]ay,
[Ebmaj7]stranded at [Fmaj7]centre [Esus4]stage,
[G]scrabbling through your [Fmaj7]diary for a [Gm]lost [D]pa[Dsus4]ge:
[Ebmaj7]unsure [Fmaj7]of the [Esus4]dream.
Verse 2:
[Eb]Kicking a stone across the beach,
aching for love and comfort out of r[D]each;
[Eb]the way ahead seems to be so bleak,
there's no-one with any friendship left to [D]speak
[Ebmaj7]or show[Fmaj7] any r[Esus4]elation
between your [Gm]present and [Fmaj7]future s[Gm]ituat[D]io[Dsus4]ns...
[Ebmaj7]lost to[Fmaj7] the d[Esus4]ream.
Bridge:
[Bb7]Away, [Bbdim]away, [Adim]away - [F#]look to the [Ab7]future [Bb]day
[Bb7]for hope, some [Bbdim]form of [Adim]peace
[F#]within the [Ab7]growing [Bb]storm.
Chorus:
[Ab]I climb through the [Gm]evening, [Ab]alive and bel[Gm]ieving
[Ab]in time we shall [Fm]all know [Bb7]our [Eb]goals and so, finally[Bb], home;
[Ab]for now, all is s[Gm]ecret - [Ab]though how could I [Gm]speak it,
[Ab]allow me the [Fm]dream in [Bb7]my e[Eb]ye!
I've been [Bb]waiting for such a long t[Ab]ime
just to [F#]see [Ab]it at [Bb]last,
all of the [F#]hands [Ab]tightly [Bb]clasped,
all of us [F#]pil[Ab]grims.
Verse 3:
[Eb]Walking in silence down the coast,
merely to journey, here hope is the m[D]ost,
[Eb]merely to know there is an end;
all of us, lovers, brothers, sisters, fr[D]iends
[Ebmaj7]hand in[Fmaj7] hand..[Esus4]..
[Gm]Shining [Fmaj7]footprints on the [Gm]wet s[D]an[Dsus4]d
[Ebmaj7]lead to[Fmaj7] the dr[Esus4]eam.
Bridge 2:
[Bb7]The time has [Bbdim]come, the [Adim]tide has [F#]almo[Ab7]st r[Bb]un
and [Bb7]drained the [Bbdim]deep:
I [Adim]rise from l[F#]ifel[Ab7]ong [Bb]sleep.
Chorus 2:
[Ab]It seems such a [Gm]long time I've d[Ab]reamed -
now, [Gm]awake, I can [Ab]see
we are [Fm]pilgrims [Bb7]and [Eb]so must walk this [Bb]road,
un[Ab]known in our [Gm]purpose, [Ab]alone, but not [Gm]worthless,
[Ab]and home ever [Fm]calling [Bb7]us o[Eb]n.
We've been [Bb]waiting here for so [Ab]long,
all of our [F#]hands [Ab]joined in [Bb]hope,
holding the [F#]weight [Ab]on the [Bb]rope -
all of us [F#]Pil[Ab]grims.
